Yale sighed while thinking how many innocent people had suffered due to that True Empire and their conspiracy to conquer the continent.

It was easy to imagine that Mercer wasnt the only one who suffered in the hands of the traitors. If Yale hadnt interfered, that kid would have lost his father, his both arms and probably his mother in the hands of the True Empire.

No one knew how many kids experienced the same situation, but no one stepped ahead to help them.

Everyone else was also angry with those traitors and silently supported Yale. However, they didnt speak as Lar did before; they had no power to confront those two traitors and didnt want to turn into a burden to Yale.

Mercer, do you want to become my disciple?

Yales sudden offer shocked Mercer and all the others who heard him. Mercer had a trashed bloodline and hadnt even reached the 1-star Mortal Rank; he was just a normal mortal, a normal kid without good prospects to the future.

His only good trait was his personality; since he lost his father he had shouldered everything even being so young, and the unfairness he and his mother were treated wasnt something easy to endure.

If instead of enduring he had lost his patience and attacked those two traitors, they would have been able to kill him an justify it; that was the fate of a lot of kids in the outer area due to being unable to swallow their pride. Of course, even if someone kneeling and forgot about any pride like Mercer, those traitors still planned to make them suffer.

I want! Disciple pays respects to master!

Mercer didnt know who Yale was, but he accepted without hesitation the offer. Yale had saved his life without having any need to do it, so Mercer had an incredibly good impression of him at that moment.

Alright, from now on you are my disciple.

The faces of the two traitors changed because they didnt expect such development. If they tried to cripple Yales disciple, there was nothing bad if Yale himself interfered and if they acted towards Yale, Lar would act. Acting against Lar was the same of killing themselves, and they didnt dare to do it openly. Yale choosing Mercer as a disciple had put them in a truly bad situation.

Yale walked towards Mercer and used Time Healing on him erasing all the wounds on Mercers body. The wounds on the body from slight kicks from before Yales group started hearing the conversation would have healed without help, but those wounds in the face needed powerful healing magic to be healed correctly.

That was something that shocked the traitors even more because they already thought that the kid would have the face deformed for his whole life because there was no way a powerful healer would come to heal someone like Mercer.

Thank you very much, master!

Mercer was extremely happy when he felt his face returning to normal; he felt that accepting Yale as a master was the best decision of his life.

Healing, Time Healing, Zhan Clan, Lars fianc. You should be that Yale who the Zhan Clan wanted death and some fools of our Larken Clan wanted to protect!

After seeing Yale healing Mercer that easily they finally connected all the points and discovered Yales identity. They wanted to help the True Zhan Clan to get rid of Yale, but the fact that those who hadnt betrayed the Larken Clan wanted to support him was something they couldnt ignore at that moment.

Master! Are you really from the Zhan Clan? Those two had crippled my mother a few minutes ago. If the master can help her, I will do anything master orders me.

Mercer had heard of the powerful healing powers of the members of the Zhan Clan, so he hoped that Yale could save his mother. He was ready to do anything for saving her, even if he needed to be a slave, he was willing. Of course, Yale didnt plan to ask him anything like that.

If there are only a few minutes since the wounds, I can heal her, but if more time passes, I wont be able to do it. Where is she?

Yale pitied of the fates of Mercer and his mother because they had just suffered a lot without any reason due to the selfish plans of the True Empire. If people like them lived or not wouldnt affect their plans. Thus, those acts were just because they were delighted torturing those who they didnt consider worthy of living among them.

She is inside the house, but

There was no need to end the sentence because those two traitors were in front of the door.

You are dreaming if you want to enter. You need to wait a few days until someone investigates the situation, and in the weird case she was innocent, you can heal her.

Those two had smug smiles on their faces; they would at least avoid that Yale healed that woman.

All the members of the Larken Clan in Yales group looked to those two traitors with disdain because that was too shameless. A few days later she wouldnt be able to be healed.

You punished her before any investigation, given the rules of the Larken Clan and your current words, you two shall kill yourselves right now. So, let me pass, or commit suicide. You have two options if you dont want to break the rules of the Larken Clan.

The faces of those two turned grim because doing an investigation after a punishment had already been applied was illegal and without investigation the couldnt stop Yale.

You are courting death!

A sudden attack went towards Yale, but he blocked it easily with the Space-time Judgment Sword.

To avoid problems, Yale didnt want to kill them in Larken City, but if he ended killing them while defending, he didnt mind either.

At that moment, Yale was trying to activate the Origin Sword Bloodline again, but he wasnt able to do it.

You drew a sword towards my son; I hope you are ready to die!

Yale jumped backward, grabbed Mercer, and retreated towards the place where the other members of the Larken Clan were looking the conflict.

However, the man who appeared rushed directly towards them and killed them all without any compassion.

You all trashes deserved that! You werent members of our True Larken Clan!

The man laughed while returning to the side of his son and his nephew. That man was at the 9-star Master Rank, extremely near to reach the Elder Rank, so killing everyone in Yales group was extremely quick.

Why did you kill all the talented members of the younger generation of my faction! You even killed Lar! You wont be able to leave alive!

At that moment Lars grandfather and Herken arrived, and both were full of hate seeing all the corpses on the ground.

They were all traitors who tarnished the name of our Larken Clan, you shall also be investigated for that, or maybe you shall kill yourself for being unable to control your members?

That man was sure that no one would intercede to kill him given his background, his own father had the same strength of Lars grandfather, and now that everyone was dead they couldnt investigate if they were traitors or not.

However, at that moment, all the corpses disappeared, and everyone was still there as alive as before the man attacked them.

What

Everyone exclaimed at the same time when those who should be dead resurrected mysteriously.

I am sorry, but you are unable to kill us.

Powerful time ripples surrounded Yale as he spoke, he had activated Absolute Protection just after reaching the place where the others were. Everyone felt the pain of death, but they were still alive thanks to Yales manipulation of time. Having felt the pain of death affected their mindsets a lot; they didnt have even the slightest doubt about traitors being inside the clan and their resolution to train increased a lot.

Those time ripples are incredibly powerful, and that control of time is something incredible. I think that at least the quality of his Time Bloodline should be at the same level as Lars Sword Bloodline, but his control over it is far higher.

Lars grandfather was truly shocked after sensing the time ripples surrounding Yale; he was able to comprehend that Yale had played with time to make all their death inexistent.

At that moment, Lars grandfather nodded inwardly because with such skill even himself didnt dare to say that he could kill Yale. Of course, he didnt know that Yale couldnt use it freely.

Oh, it is my annoying grandfather. Those two guys are traitors who were abusing her power to cripple those of the outer clan, and their father is also a traitor who killed all those men of the outer clan. They should be put into arrest immediately.

Lars grandfather could just smile wryly when hearing his granddaughter calling him annoying, but he didnt doubt her words, she was telling the truth, and the others were lying.

You three are all arrested under the suspicion of having betrayed the Larken Clan. Any show of resistance will be considered as treason, and you be killed on the spot.

When Lars grandfather uttered those words, the three traitors didnt know what to do because under investigation they would be discovered and if they resist they would just be killed.
